24 off the last over gets SA to 315

Sri Lanka bowled out for 50 in the Asian Cup final. They were 6 for 12


India get the runs in the 7th over.

Odd game of cricket. Some really dumb shots played.

[Armchair expert]

Asia Cup final, India v Sri Lanka
SL 6/16 from 6.2, Siraj 5/5 from 3 overs

India win chasing down 50 in 6.1 overs none down

[The Dark Knight]

South Africa win the fifth ODI by 122 runs and the series 3-2
Aus 193
Marsh 71 (56)
Jansen 5/39
Maharaj 4/33

What a terrible series for Aus, lose Head for atleast half the WC, prove our depth is not very good, Zampa in terrible form. Ellis and Abbott with minor injuries.

[RB]

You'd have to think now that Lab will come in for Head.

I feel that this series has exposed us with both bat and ball. Playing on tiny grounds probably didn't help though.

Get more of an idea against India, in Indian conditions.

[Armchair expert]

I think the top 7 will be

Warner
Marsh
Marnus
Smith
Maxwell
Stoinis
Carey

Stoinis/Maxwell/Marsh to be the 5th bowler

What a terrible series for Aus, lose Head for atleast half the WC, prove our depth is not very good, Zampa in terrible form. Ellis and Abbott with minor injuries.

My main concern is how have we led 2-0 in our past two series and not had the ability to deliver the final blow and win the series.

I think we lack integrity, there’s no way that this would happen under a Punter or Waugh regime.

[The Dark Knight]

I think the top 7 will be

Warner
Marsh
Marnus
Smith
Maxwell
Stoinis
Carey

Stoinis/Maxwell/Marsh to be the 5th bowler

I'm still not convinced Stoinis is a first choice top 6 batter for the WC especially because of his clear weakness against spin, it's a toss up between him and Green I reckon.

Marnus Labuschagne has bolted back into World Cup calculations as Australia weigh up whether Travis Head's dynamism is valuable enough to carry him in their 15-man squad, despite his broken hand now expected to sideline him for at least half the tournament.

Coach Andrew McDonald revealed following his side's 2-3 series defeat to South Africa that Head will not require surgery after fracturing a joint on his left hand during the fourth ODI in Pretoria.

But the opener's hopes of featuring in the showpiece 50-over event in India remain under a cloud as he faces more than a month-long recovery.

McDonald confirmed Head would not be available until the midway point of the Australia's nine-match group stage campaign at the earliest.

"The timeframe is still a bit loose at the moment but the good news is he doesn't require surgery as it sits at the moment," McDonald said from Johannesburg of Head, who will fly home to Adelaide as his teammates head directly to India for a three-ODI bilateral series against India beginning Friday.

"There will be an extended period of time out and we've just got to weigh up whether that time (out) falls with an option to carry him through the front half of the World Cup.

"There's no doubt he won't be available for the front half, so that's a decision we'll have to make for the final 15(-player squad). But I can't give you an exact time frame."

Piss poor crowd stadiums 3/4 empty

People knocking off work still most likely, will fill up when India bat.

[locky801]

50 to Warner off 50 balls

Aust 1/86 after 17

[locky801]

Woeful dismissal by Warner, was well on top of the bowling and plays a ridiculous slog sweep off Dadeja

Out for 52

Aust 2/98
Smith 37*

[The Dark Knight]

Doesn't matter if it's an ODI Jadeja and Ashwin bowling in tandem against Australia triggers my PTSD.
